Fantastic! Close to everything. Right on the beach. Tiki bar, and no elevators. Bathroom sink drain was super slow. Just needed some TLC. Staff was kind and helpful. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen in the room worked perfectly for small breakfast to start your morning. We would stay again. Thanks for a great time.

"What I expected for a Motel from about the 1930's"

We would come back to this motel, this was our 1st trip without our kids. I would just request that they tiddy our room each day. It was plesant & comfortable. Easy to get in & out, unlike the big mega propertys. We liked how they had beach chairs & umbrellas to take down on the beach and the courtyard bar could be fun, we were just into the time we had with each other, not a group.

Beach and location were great.Older hotel with some wear and tear, but clean. Free parking a plus. Tiki bar offered one of the best venues on the boardwalk. Room was large, and air was cold. Cool lay back Beach Hotel.

"Great location, great stay."

We came to the Ft Lauderdale area for a Miami Dolphins Football game, and thought it would be fun to stay on the beach. This hotel was a great find! It was right on the beach, easy to find and everybody was super nice! The room was clean(which is a MUST for me), and really spacious. The only complaint was the air conditioning unit noise, but that wouldn't stop us from staying there again. Our room was right next to the bar, but we couldn't hear any noise from the outside once inside the room. The staff at the bar were awesome, and we spent both nights there before heading in. It was a great stay!

"Fantastic Beachside Experience"

Stayed at the Walkabout for two back to back work trips. Loved the location right on the beach, quick and easy access to downtown Hollywood for work & evening dining, met a bunch of fun, entertaining, and awesome locals and bartenders at the courtyard Tiki bar, above and beyond outstanding service from hotel personnel, overall had a great time. Highly recommended!

"Quaint Beachside Hotel, Charming & Lovely Staff"

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Walkabout Beach Resort for an extended business trip of nearly two weeks. My room was pleasantly furnished, kept immaculately clean by the maid service, and, just steps outside my door, I had both the beautiful turquoise blue waters of Hollywood Beach as well as the Walkabout's patio Tiki Bar (staffed and frequented by some of the most captivating, engaging, and entertaining bartenders and regulars I've met in a VERY long time.) The hotel was conveniently located, near downtown Hollywood, giving me easy access to the beach, work, and evening dining, but it really was the hotel staff and Hollywood Beach regulars that made my stay so special. If you have any appreciation for smaller independent hotel experiences, you really can't go wrong enjoying the rooms and atmosphere offered up by the wonderfully quirky and utterly charming Walkabout Beach Resort.

"Road trip from TX to Florida"

After staying in PCB for a few days, we headed to Hollywood Beach, where we stayed the longest.
Easy to find and staff available since we checked in late. Sherry was very accomdating as she asked everyday if we needed anything. The staff was also great since we had a 14' enclosed trailer with us to pick up fish mounts @ Gray Taxidermy. They let us park close with no worries! We stayed 5 nights and sadly left on the 6th day. We loved the clean beach, clean and fun boardwalk and good restaurants.Nick is a good one, everything we had there was good. Florios Itailian, very good as well.
The kids rode bikes from a shop on the boardwalk and had a very good time.

"Memorial Day Weekend"

I've stayed here before and will go back to stay again. Unfortunately, one night our electric went out in our bed room and we didn't get it resolved until the following day. The breaker for our room was in another guest's room. The manager who helped us did what she could to help and comp'd us $50.00 The only thing I was super disappointed with was the living room air conditioner was blowing out fan air only and not cold. I mentioned it to another manager and she just commented that they'll probably need to replace the unit. It was my birthday weekend and I was completely dripping with sweat while getting ready to go out for my birthday dinner. My last visit however in a very beautiful unit in the front that faces the ocean was an excellent experience. I'll go back but I must say I was quite disappointed in the air conditioning situation.

"Great location"

Rooms are large and have everything you need. Location is great and the Tiki bar is fun. The hotel staff is very friendly.

With a friendly staff and cozy hotel, it felt like a private resort right in all the fun of Hollywood Beach. The tiki bar at the hotel has a great view of the ocean and the boardwalk. What fun! Rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The kitchen had refrigerator and area for simple food prep that we used for snacking. With the short walk across the boardwalk to the beach, it was simple to get refreshments all day long. While the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, we had delivery from several great places.

"Great Hollywood Broadwalk option"

If you're looking for a small hotel with beach-themed rooms that have excellent ocean views, this is the place for you. The tiki bar is popular, and you're literally a stone's throw from the beach. Lots of restaurants and local entertainment all around. The suites have a wall of windows facing east. The cleaning service needs to be a little more thorough with the hard wood floors, but the rooms are exactly what you see in the pictures. This is authentic old Hollywood Beach.

"Nice Spot On The Beach"

Rooms are big and clean, with everything you need. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If you need anything, just ask. They'll make sure you get what you need. We chose the least expensive of the rooms and next time we would go with the higher end options. Our room was fine, but the others were nicer. Not all rooms have the wood floors as pictured. Other reviewers complained about the bed being "hard" but we found it comfortable. The rooms are slightly dated from the online pictures, but they are still comfortable. The tiki bar was fun and never a problem as far as noise. The locals who hang out there are really nice and gave us recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The Marriott next door has a nice breakfast buffet on the weekends and an ATM inside the lobby. This was our first visit to Hollywood and the feel is very different from Florida's west coast beaches. It took us a minute to adjust, but we ended up loving the beautiful beach and casual atmosphere.

"Great View of the Boardwalk and Beach"

My husband and I loved our stay at this hotel. There is a wonderful Tiki Bar right outside our room where you can get drinks, and shade from the sun. It closes at 10pm so no worries about getting rest if you retire early. There was one night when the Tiki Bar stayed open later, but believe that was an issue with the new bartender. The Boardwalk is right next to the Tiki Bar and then the beach, so from our room, we could see the beach. The beach has some palm trees that provide some shade so you don't have to always purchase umbrellas if you are on a budget. The hotel provides beach chairs and towels. Our room had a small kitchenette but only had the basics, e.g., toaster, coffee maker, fridge, small frying pan, eating utensils, electric hot plate (no stove). We loved the walks along the boardwalk because we could still hear the sound of the water while walking. We were only a short walk from the restaurants. Overall, we enjoyed it so much, we are going back with friends next year.

"Hollywood Fl Walkabout"

We loved the location of this hotel. There was no parking at the hotel so they give you free parking next door at the Marriott. The only problem we had there was we had all out luggage to haul from the car to our room. We had to roll our suitcases and such right through the tiki bar area because our room was 10 feet from the tiki bar. Everyone at the bar was enjoying the show. Our room was a little to close to the tiki bar. When I was in our bathroom I could here what everyone was saying at the bar. No privacy here.
Million dollar view from the court yard which was a good thing.

"Not a place for sleep"

If you want to sleep, I recommend you do not stay here. The rooms are located very close to the hotel's Tiki bar, and the soundproofing is non-existent. We arrived around 6 pm on a Friday, and the bar was full of very noisy patrons. The entrance to our room was only a few feet away from the bar. I was concerned and asked the proprietor if this noise would continue much longer, and she assured me that it would quiet soon. I guess that her idea of "soon" is different from ours: the raucous noise began to quiet a bit around 11 pm, and finally died out around midnight. Impossible to sleep. And we could hear every sound from the adjacent rooms, also. On the good side, the room was large and comfortable.

"Convenient"

We just got back from our 3 night stay in Hollywood, FL. The location was perfect. You literally cannot get any closer to the beach. The rooms were clean and so adorable. We stayed in room 2, which is right in the middle on the ground level. Pros: we were able to cook dinner, take a bottle of wine, and literally just walk out and sit on the patio by the tiki bar and enjoy the scenery. Cons: We pretty much had to have our blinds shut most of the day because anyone else sitting on the patio/bar could see into our room. Not a big big deal but I think next time we'd request one of the upper level rooms just to get a little bit more privacy.
Other than that, there aren't any other cons I can think of. Great view, super convenient, great staff, loved it all!

"Very relaxing!"

Great location on the north end of the Hollywood broadwalk. When we first checked in I was mildly apprehensive to discover that we were booked into a room that was *right* next to the tiki bar (worried about it being noisy etc..), however, it was not an issue at all. We were there for a few days of just chilling out and this was PERFECT. The room was great --a renovated studio apt?-- so there was a small kitchenette, decent sized closet, comfy chairs, very spacious and relaxing. AND, the beach is right outside your door. Complimentary beach chairs, hose for rinsing feet, beach towels, very nice relaxing decor, AC worked great. Parking is right next door at the Marriot so it is very convenient to get in and out. Lots of restaurants nearby, and there is a Publix within 10 mins so you can get groceries, drinks, etc. The only things that could be improved on was the mattress was a little hard and the pillows a little flat, but really not bad at all. Housekeeping was great, especially since despite all our efforts we were tracking in sand daily.
Overall we LOVED this adorable little hotel. It is super cute, right on the beach, great value for the money. If you are a high maintenance traveler and require a big glossy hotel, then this might not be for you. But, if you just want to relax and keep it low key, this is perfect. We will definitely be back.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel.
